It's too much damage for touchup paint. You just have to get it repainted.

Only real way to do this is get a respray.

It's not bad at all ~$700 to get your front bumper repainted.

You could give Dr. Colorchip a try. It's made for this kind of thing, and many people have claimed some good results. Unless you're after perfection, $50 worth of Dr. Colorchip and a couple hours of your time may have it looking pretty good.
